My Opinion: My Life Next Door, by Huntley Fitzpatrick, is one of my favorite books. Although it falls in the romance genre, Fitzpatrick encompasses other themes, such as love and friendship, and learning to discover your own values. I think the end drags on a bit, but most of the book is fast paced, and I found it very hard to put down. I recommend My Life Next Door to upper schoolers, because there is some adult content that may make middle schoolers uncomfortable. It is a young adult book that is funny and exciting, while also having overarching themes that can be found in real life.

Fitzpatrick can recognize that some aspects of her characters in My Life Next Door come from the people around her, though no characters are based on any specific person. She found inspiration for this book when going about her daily life, in everyday situations like visiting the beach or shopping, where she would often find herself scribbling notes and ideas down on old receipts using her makeup. She credits a young couple who were laughing, teasing each other, and taking photographs together as a main inspiration for Samantha and Jase.[1]

At 8:30, I take Ross out the back door of our unit for his final potty break. I then jog upstairs to the microwave area, heat myself a ramen noodle soup, and pop myself some popcorn.9 count hits. This is my chill-out time. For the next two hours, I sit on my bunk and slurp noodles and crunch popcorn while I watch T.V. or read a book.
Building a strong credit score in your 20s can pay dividends for the rest of your life. Healthy scores open the door to benefits like higher credit limits, lower interest rates (on mortgages and auto loans) and lower premiums (on auto and home insurance). Oh, and the bragging rights are also nice.
In my case... I have 3 adult children 24. 28 & 30 that have moved back into my home (each had been on their own w/significant others for up to 5 years). One works full time, and is transgender. The 2 others work sporadically when the mood, and/or lack of spending cash moves them to. All three went to college, and were helped by my wife and I. All 3 don't contribute a dime, or a finger to any chores. They are not very communicative about anything. They are actually very apathetic, and indifferent to us or anyone (except to each other!). We could blame this on any number of things? i.e. their inability to live on their own, displeasure with themselves, their social life, society etc. My wife feels the "deep" desire & need to diagnosis, and repair their problems. That's been her job for 30 years! I, on the other hand had/have the burden of supporting all of them, including my wife, and 3 kids under 18 y/o. Recently, I stated (calmly) an ultimatum to the 3 oldest that they would need to find "good" jobs, and leave my home within the next 6 months. My wife went (in my opinion) crazy about my "ultimatum" and is leaving me! aka divorce. She feels that I have lost all respect for her, and any love I had for my kids. I'm 60, and would like to retire at some point before I die. Now, I'm between a rock and a hard place, back paddling to try and repair my marriage, and the popular perceived notion that I am a cruel jerk of a dad that won't help my wife "fix" my older kids various "phobias and hard luck" they've been through.
I can't get my disrespectful, pathological lying daughter out of my house. She doesn't work. She doesn't clean up after herself. She is a slob. She doesn't help out financially. She does nothing. I ask her to do something and she mouths off at me. She disrespects me to the point of abuse. Yells and swears at me when her friends are around. I ask her not to bring her friends to my house and she does anyway. I]ve stopped being quiet and ask them to leave and she goes nuts on me and they don't leave. Worst thing is she has a baby (whom I love with all my heart) and now I am taking care of her too, My daughter is only interested in social media and going out to parties. When her baby was 4 days old she was out partying all night. She sneaks out to party. Pawns her child off on anybody who will take her. I tell her she is not going out and she sneaks out the backdoor. She behaves like a rebellious teenager. I have called Children's Aid on her and that only made her furious at me We had my granddaughter full time until recently. Now the father takes her for 3 days one week 4 days the next. An hour after he drops her off my daughter wants to go out. She just isn't a good mother. When she had a vehicle she had the baby out all hours of the night. She'd get home at 3 or 4 am. Sleep all day leaving her child in her bouncy chair. She has admitted she has no maternal instinct. I work full time. I do it all. I'm in my fifties and was looking forward to my grown children moving out so I could begin the next chapter of my life and now I'm tempted to sell my house and get a small apt with no extra bedrooms. Her response to that is that I'm a terrible grandmother to sell my granddaughter's home. She uses my granddaughter against me all the time. She has stolen off me and others. She has forged cheques from my bank account. The police talked me out of pressing charges. Are there drugs involved? Yes! However, she denies it. I need her out of my house but where is she going to go with no income? And who is going to take care of that poor child? My daughter needs help. I've tried many times to talk to her hoping to work something out so that we can at least coexist but it always ends up with her freaking out telling me I'm crazy. Trust me when I say sometimes I feel like I am going crazy. My house is a mess and overrun with baby things. I can't do this anymore. Does anybody have suggestions???

Drawing on maxims, memoir and the inspirational lives of others, these meditations celebrate the ever-changing wonder of living.
